The fact that you put FCPro on there doesn't leave many options, likely to be a high end MacBook Pro
 
MacBook should handle it well if you get the higher spec one and max out the RAM to 4GB.

If not, go for the base/middle spec MacBook Pro.
 
yeah its for uni (Media studies) and first term is photography second is video which i plan to major in so to be able to have the option to do more at home will be a bonus as the uni use apple mac desktops

thanks for the replies

Do the RAM yourself, a lot cheaper.

The current base spec prices are as follows:

Just in case you don't know, the rumour is new macbooks will be getting released on the 14th October or there abouts. So if your not in any major rush for a new laptop I would wait it out till then in case of any upgrade from the current specs.
 
You should also try the refurb centre, I saved about £500 off my MacBook Air by getting a refurbished one :D
